Abstract
A regulatory compliance testing system permits a gaming machine (-) at a first location (-) to be tested for regulatory compliance with casino system software () located at a second location () in a different jurisdiction. A plurality of different casino systems () can be kept at the second location () and each is associated with one specific port (-) at the first location so that each different type or model of gaming machine (-) has its own home port (-). A secured VPN Layer 2 network (-) including multisystem isolation made possible by VLAN (-) tunnels connects both locations and permits seamless and secure connectivity as if the gaming machine (-) and its associated accounting software () were located at the same location. The system () permits three (3) basic modes of testing. First, the gaming machine (-) may be tested at the first location (-) by an engineer at the first location (-). Second, the gaming machine (-) may be tested by a person at the second location (). Third, a plurality of gaming machines (-) of the same type my be plugged into the same numbered port (-) at more than one locations and simultaneously tested from one or more different locations (-).
